Hi All,
Lots of advertising around supersoil going on at the moment. The principle sounds great around nitrogen fixing bacteria etc. I have asked for more detail/science behind what's in it but it's not been forth coming so far - which makes me wary. I know there are other nitrogen fixing bacteria additives you can put on the fields. I just wondered had anyone any experience of using it and how did you find it?
Thanks
Esther
I would personally be wary if someone selling nitrogen fixing bacteria, something that was probably not on anyones radar until high fertiliser prices have come about. Thinking out loud, to me the bacteria need a suitable environment in which to survive and operate. Just buying ‘bacteria’ and expecting them to thrive in an unsuitable environment to me wouldn’t work.
Early succession legume plants provide this environment until such times that the soil health is good enough to sustain the bacteria in the rhizosphere around plant roots….is how I understand it anyway.
